The Miami Heat watched the NBA's Opening Night from Orlando as they prepare for their own opener on Wednesday night. After seeing what Alperen Sengun accomplished, hope for one of their own to do the same has blossomed anew. Can Simone Fontecchio have his breakout moment?
The Heat are ready for someone to step up into a larger role this season. Bam Adebayo had a strong defensive season a year ago but was somewhat lackluster on offense. Tyler Herro is out for an extended stretch to start the season. Norman Powell has verve but is also 32 years old.
